In order to tailor dielectric response and electrical conductivity, novel polymer blends based on poly(vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and different fillers composed by poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), and PEDOT:PSS/ionic liquids (ILs): PEDOT:PSS/N-ethyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide ([C2mpyr][FSI]) and PEDOT:PSS/N-ethyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethane...
The influence of the inclusion of the organic solvent propylene carbonate (PC) in microporous membranes based on poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) and poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) P(VDF-HFP) has been studied based on its relevance for the application of those separator membranes in lithium-ion batteries. The membranes have been produced through solvent casting and characterized with respect to the ...
The development of three-dimensional environments to mimic the in vivo cellular response is a problem in the building of disease models. This study aimed to synthesize and validate three-dimensional support for culturing monoclonal plasma cells (mPCs) as a disease model for multiple myeloma. The three-dimensional environment is a biomimetic microgel formed by alginate microspheres and produced on a microfluidic...
